Oklahoma’s National Guard Gets Opportunity for CareerTech Training
SB31 is a prefiled bill called the Oklahoma National Guard CareerTech Assistance Act.
It creates a program to help certain members of the Oklahoma National Guard pay for tuition to attend technology schools where they can learn skills to get a certification or license for a job.
➡️The program will only work if there is enough money available, and
➡️there will be limits on how much help someone can get.
➡️The members who are eligible must have at least one year left in their National Guard contract, and
➡️they must agree to finish their service and serve for at least 24 months after getting the tuition help.
There will be a special fund called the Oklahoma National Guard CareerTech Assistance Revolving Fund, which will provide money for the program. This money will come from specific sources, and it will be used to pay for the tuition help. There are rules that the State Board of Career and Technology Education and the Military Department will follow to make sure the program runs smoothly.
